I’m a breakfast girl. It isn’t possible for me to go the 16 hours between dinner and lunch the following day without eating. I become a crazy person when I’m hungry. Like the plant from Little Shop of Horrors yelling “FEED MEEE!!!” at random strangers. If I ever get stuck on a deserted island, or in a plane crash in the Andes, don’t pray for me, pray for which ever poor soul has to deal with the hungry version of me. Not pretty. Plus I just make bad decisions when I’m hungry, which results in me coming to the conclusion that an entire jumbo sized bag of Jalapeno Kettle Chips is just one snack, and it’s totally fine for me to eat the entire thing.
Because of this, I must eat breakfast. And besides my long standing love with Saturday Morning Breakfast indulgences, I want a super healthy breakfast 6 days a week.
And you are probably sick of all the quinoa, but I’m not. Not yet. It SO good for you, and if you cook it the right way, it has a great flavor and texture. Don’t cook it the same way you cook rice or it will be mushy.
My Morning Magical Quinoa Muffin Stats, calculated by Spark People Recipe Calorie Calculator:
3 grams of fiber
4.3 grams of protein
Plus a healthy dose of Calcium, Vitamins A, B-6 & C
Only .5 grams of the bad Saturated Fat
Not too bad. And an easy thing to grab on your way out the door in the morning.
So that you can conquer the world without being a whiney and unreasonable. Or maybe that’s just me.
